I haven't seen much on these, so I figured I would start a thread. When I first got my Idaho Grape frag it wasn't doing well, lost colour and little polyp extension, and after closely watching it I saw little black bugs moving on it. This was back in late August, about the same time as my aefw scare (I didn't have them) so I was betadine dipping my acros and figured why not try this on the poor looking monti. Well it looked much better after the dip, polyps came out and and colour slowly returned. Fast forward 2 months. I was looking at my tank today and was wondering why my Idaho Grape, once again was looking poor. I thought it was because I had been messing with my skimmer earlier in the day until I looked closely at it. And yet again there were black bugs. So I'm waiting to take some pictures before I treat, but I plan on treating every 3 weeks with a 3ml per liter of tank water betadine dip.
Here is a picture from when I found them 2 months ago, I circled the bugs. More pics to come tomorrow hopefully.
